RTÉ's documentary We Won The Lotto has everyone wondering what they'd do if they won
‘WE WON THE Lotto’ – RTÉ’s documentary on former Lotto winners and how it has changed their lives – is the talk of Twitter today.

Only 5% of Lotto winners go public with their wins, and it’s up to Lotto HQ to convince them to.
Claims Manager Gerry O’Donoghue was also quick to put to bed any rumours that going public gets you more money – it doesn’t.
We also got a look into the winner’s suite, in which you get champagne, luxury car magazines … And a Craig Doyle video.

Vincent Keaney bought the dole office in Cobh, Co. Cork and turned it into a Titanic-themed bar and restaurant … The irony wasn’t lost on people.
While Billy Comer from Glenamaddy got something money can’t buy – tonnes of pen pals.

Billy also bought three pubs with his winnings. However, he can no longer afford to do up the third pub.
So, Twitter reckon Francis Brennan should step in and do it up.
Now, people are wondering if the Lotto is worth it at all.
Whoops!
